On the Existence of a Kazantzis-Kravaris/Luenberger Observer
We state sufficient conditions for the existence, on a given open set, of the
extension, to nonlinear systems, of the Luenberger observer as it has been
proposed by Kazantzis and Kravaris. We prove it is sufficient to choose the
dimension of the system, giving the observer, less than or equal to 2 + twice
the dimension of the state to be observed. We show that it is sufficient to
know only an approximation of the solution of a PDE, needed for the
implementation. We establish a link with high gain observers. Finally we extend
our results to systems satisfying an unboundedness observability property
Nuclear Weapons Law
This book explains in non-technical terms the law applying to the threat or use of nuclear weapons before and during an armed conflict. The rules and implications for nuclear command and control are explained, which will be relevant for politicians, lawyers, military commanders, policy staff, academics and post-graduate students. This book is also available as open access
Hybrid quantum annealing for larger-than-QPU lattice-structured problems
Quantum processing units (QPUs) executing annealing algorithms have shown
promise in optimization and simulation applications. Hybrid algorithms are a
natural bridge to additional applications of larger scale. We present a
straightforward and effective method for solving larger-than-QPU
lattice-structured Ising optimization problems. Performance is compared against
simulated annealing with promising results, and improvement is shown as a
function of the generation of D-Wave QPU used.Comment: 21 pages, 15 figures, supplementary code attachmen
